Looking for a flashy table or night stand lamp, that is what Kartell and designer Ferruccio Laviani gave the Cindy Lamp, a lot of flash. This small lamp possesses a strong visual impact thanks to bold shiny metallic finishes in a variety of colors including platinum, bronze, mint green, tangerine, ultramarine, flamingo, gun metal and violet. I really like the retro looks of the conical lamp shade and the tear drop base that is simple yet fun to look at. See the entire collection of modern furniture and accessories from Kartell with their signature bold color palate.

Tela-Design light boxes combine wall art and lighting into an appealing visual effect that also offers a very unique concept in interior accessorizing. Sure the light is ambient rather than illuminating or direct but these light boxes really look good. You can also use light boxes to create a connection between many rooms by using a common design, or create a visual separation by applying different designs and colors to offset sections or floors.

Hanging lamps are wonderful ways to beautify a home while taking advantage of ceiling space. I like them since they are suspended and do not require a table as in the case of a more traditional lamp. These hanging lamps come from dform and feature modern and retro design styling. Dform takes flat sheet construction materials and shapes them into three dimensional forms which take on dynamic shapes. You can see the materials are carefully crafted to create elegant hanging lamp fixtures. More information: here.

Though their source of lighting is now obsolete due to the many lighting options now available, that nostalgia creates a designer opportunity. The settings of these pictures highlight the use of candle chandeliers hanging over dining tables. There imagery is unique and one that may appeal to traditional decorating fans. I have thrown in a sconce as well to bring out another candle-like option. The Pillar Collection comes from Restoration Hardware and can be found here.
